NEED A FRIEND

Giving in a taking kind of way
Yes loving is all the things they say
Time there was when I believed that love would never end
Now living without love I need a friend.
                Echo me of all the things you know
                Whisper of the winds and how they blow
Time there was when I believed that love would never end
Now living without love I need a friend.
 
Freedom, you're like that brandy wine
Freedom, too much of you and you're no friend of mine
Time there was and time there is my freedom for to spend
But lonely now and sad I need a friend
                 Echo me of all the things you know
                 Whisper of the winds and how they blow
Time there was and time there is my freedom for to spend
But lonely now and sad I need a friend
 
You're waiting for a sign from me and trying to understand
Well take me to you fireside and hold me in your hand
I'm looking for tomorrow and reaching for the light
Just guide me through the shadows of tonight
                 Echo me of all the things you know
                 Whisper of the winds and how they blow
I'm looking for tomorrow and reaching for the light
Just guide me through the shadows of tonight
